Olmsted Township

I have currently resided in Olmsted Township since May of 2015. Previously I lived in Elyria going to Lorain County Community College. I moved to Olmsted Township to be closer to Central School of Practical Nursing. When I was growing up I moved around very frequently. We never lived in one place for more than a year. I grew up around the Akron area until I moved up to the Cleveland area my sophomore year in high school. I am honestly very glad my family moved away from the Akron area to Avon. Since I was moving around frequently I was not able to look into what my community had to offer. This project has made me realize how much my community has to offer for all age types. Olmsted Township is a very small town it was first settled in 1814…

The two sides came together to celebrate and the bitterness and animosity that had existed between the two sides disappeared. Harry noticed that, "The war, it seemed, had almost completely…

Ghosts, witches, and family curses aren’t subjects normally found in nineteenth-century romances. And yet, all are present in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s eerie second novel, The House of the Seven Gables. In it, Hawthorne introduces the Pyncheons, a self-righteous, greedy, and slothful people whose destructive hereditary traits arouse the revenge of the humble Maules. In turn, the Pyncheons blame the Maules’ revenge—and, particularly, the ancient curse of accused wizard Matthew Maule—for each…

a norm are not in need of new paint, are not run down, nor are they brand new with perfectly cut lawns in the summer. Any swing sets would be in the back yards, but one can hardly see in the backyards of the majority of the houses from the street. There is no main street in Glen Gardner; there is a post office, a hotdog stand, and random car shops on the highway that splits Glen Gardner.
